Thought for the day by Charles Handy on the San Francisco earthquake of 1989 and reestablishing proper priorities in life. Handy begins the thought discussing the lives of his friends in San Francisco and what they must be enduring in the wake of the earthquake. He proceeds to talk about how it is important to reach out to people instead of leaving them alone in their grief when they are enduring a rough episode in their lives. Handy then uses the catastrophe to reflect on what is significant versus what is pointless in his own life, and how the earthquake has prompted him to take charge of his life once again.
